Adjustments
After choosing a harness that is close to your body size, adjust your harness to suit your physique and flying
style. It is important to adjust it correctly to ensure you can easily slide into the sitting position after take o . A
poorly adjusted harness can adversely a ect the flying characteristics of your paraglider.
Perform adjustments before your first flight by hanging in a simulator and fine-tune the settings if necessary
during your first few flights.
Shoulder straps
The optimum setting for the shoulder straps depends on the height of the pilot. Step into the harness and
stand upright with the breast strap closed, symmetrically adjust the shoulder straps until they are a snug fit,
but not tight.
Tighten: pull down on the black and green loop
Loosen: pull up on the BLACK loop on the top of the shoulder strap.
Leg straps
The correct adjustment of the leg straps allows the pilot to easily reach the sitting position after take-o
without using his hands. Use the buckles to adjust the leg straps so that they fit comfortably without being
tight; make sure you do it symmetrically. If you need to lengthen the leg straps, first check that the shoulder
straps are not too tight.
Chest Strap
The Chest strap can be adjusted while in flight to match the flying condition and pilots flying style.
Wide: the pilot will feel more feedback from the glider and will have more body weight control.
Narrow: the pilot will feel less turbulence and is a better position for long glides on speedbar.
NOTE:
Make sure that the rescue system has been
installed before making adjustments.
